A quantitative approach - The level and the correlation between thwarted belongingness and suicidal ideation
Abstract
Suicide or attempted suicide by
adolescents might have a variety of causes (Cammarata, 2020). Due to its
variability, this study tries to identify the level of male and female thwarted
belongingness (external factors) and its significant correlation to adolescent
suicidal ideation. The researcher used two types of test questionnaire: 1)
Interpersonal Needs Questionnaire (INQ-15) was used to assess the level of
thwarted belongingness, and 2) Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire (SIQ-30) which
measures the level of suicidal ideation among random respondents. Out of 285
respondents, female respondents garnered a slightly higher mean score of 33.6 compared
to male respondents of 33.17, which means females have a feeling of not being connected
to others or with society (thwarted belongingness). This result has also been
supported by Van Orden et al., (2010) suggesting that women may be more
vulnerable to thwarted belongingness especially when they experience hampered
social functioning and intense social anxiety (Espinosa-Salida et al., 2021).
While, in their level of suicidal ideation, the researcher used a standardized
questionnaire, the Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire (SIQ-30). Based on the data gathered,
female respondents also garnered a higher mean score of 106.3 compared to male respondents
of 100.62, which means females' level of suicidal ideation falls under the
category for further evaluation, referral or treatment, which is a bit alarming
for junior high school students. With this result, we can say, thwarted
belongingness and suicidal ideation clearly indicate a positive correlation at
0.05 level (2-tailed) with a p-value of 0.041. Nevertheless, other variables such
as sexual identity, emotional status, family function, cyberbullying,
suicidality, and stressors also affect suicidal ideation (Nagamitsu et al.,
2020).
